WOOD VINEGAR

WOOD VINEGAR works through low-molecular organic compounds produced during pyrolysis. These compounds act as biological signals rather than nutrients.

When diluted and applied, they stimulate beneficial microbial activity, improve nutrient mobility, and support root function. The result is earlier biological activation and more efficient plant development without forcing growth.

WOOD VINEGAR is used across a wide range of agricultural and horticultural systems, including:

• Market gardens and organic production
  
• Orchards, vineyards, and tree crops
  
• Broadacre and regenerative farming
  
• Nurseries and propagation houses
  
• Hydroponic and controlled environments
  
• Turf, lawns, and landscapes
  
• Composting, manure, and waste management
  
• Livestock and poultry sheds

Always dilute before use. Test on a small area before broad application.

• Foliar spray: 1:200 to 1:500
  
• Soil drench or fertigation: 1:300 to 1:500
  
• Seed soak or cuttings: 1:500 to 1:800
  
• Compost and odour control: 1:50 to 1:100
  
• Sheds and bedding: 1:50 to 1:100
  

Avoid application during peak heat or direct midday sun.

Independent studies and field trials report:

• Earlier establishment and improved early vigour
  
• Biomass and yield increases at optimal dilution
  
• Improved soil biological activity at low soil application rates
  
• Reduced ammonia and methane emissions in compost and manure systems, particularly when combined with biochar
  

1. What is wood vinegar?

Wood vinegar, also known as pyroligneous acid, is the liquid condensate captured during controlled pyrolysis of plant biomass. It contains organic acids, phenols, and other bioactive compounds that act as natural biostimulants.

2. How does it work in soil?

When diluted and applied, it stimulates beneficial microbes, improves nutrient cycling, and enhances plant uptake efficiency without adding fertiliser nutrients.

3. Is it a fertiliser?

No. Wood vinegar is a biostimulant. It improves how plants use existing nutrients rather than supplying nutrients itself.

4. What systems benefit most?

It is suitable for vegetables, orchards, vineyards, turf, lawns, broadacre crops, nurseries, composting systems, and regenerative farming.

5. Can it damage plants?

Yes if over-applied. Wood vinegar is naturally acidic and must always be diluted and applied outside peak heat.

6. Can it be mixed with other products?

Compatible with compost teas, seaweed, humic acids, and most organic fertilisers. Avoid alkaline inputs.

7. Does it replace compost or biochar?

No. Compost supplies nutrients, biochar provides structure, and wood vinegar activates biological processes. They work best together.

8. Is it organic and safe?

Yes. Derived from untreated biomass and accepted under most organic standards. Safe for people and animals when diluted correctly.

9. What results should I expect?

Users commonly observe earlier establishment, improved root development, better nutrient efficiency, reduced odours, and improved compost performance when used correctly.
